Campus Life Pictures

aye. I have not been able to stop writing. It's like God gave me this idea an now I can't quit at all. Wow. Weird. In a few weeks I'm gonna see my mom and viv for the first time in about five months or so. Florida...Yeah.

so I have been worried about what I'm going to do with my life after high school and I felt like I was really not 

good at anything but than a familar song comes to my mind.

"If you can use anything , Lord, you can use me. Take my hands, Lord, and my feet. Take my life, Lord, speak for me. If you can use anthing Lord , you can use me."

I don't think God cares about if you have the biggest salary and the highest education if you don't let him use you to help others and reach people with the gospel. Whatever I do, whoever God wants me to be- wether its a nurse, a waitress, or evan a writer I will most definatly do it with him in my life. And that's all I need.

Well I went to my wonderful Grandpa Joe's house today. He is so awesome. We play Rummy every time I'm at his house and every time I kick his butt at it. It's so much fun. We went to Baker's Square and in honor of Marilyn I got a slice of candy cane pie. It was my grandpa's birthday. He is 82. It's scary to see the changes in him that there has been since I was about five. He randomly forgets things, like how many cards to deal. But other than his memory he seems pretty good. He is still very much heart broken over his wife Sylvia, dying this Summer.

After that we went to Orland Park which is very much covered with snow and quite lovely. I have pictures but am much too lazy to post them right now. I'm exhausted.  Orland Park makes Portage look so boring. I love it there. Shannah, you would have passed out. We went to a mall and there was a bunch of coach stores and dooney and whats his face stores. The only good part of the mall was the massage that I got for a dollar.

I am writing a serious story right now. It's not insane. Yeah, serious. Weird.

Ana Laura is an amazing singer. I bought her cd months ago but never really listened to it until today. Ahhh...the lyrics are so good.

All this time 

All this trying to beat human nature 
It's still holding on to me 
I'm made to run 
But I was meant to be free 
But still I'm broken 
In need of someone to rescue me 

Sometimes I burn 
Sometimes I lose my way 
But when I fall 
That's not where I'll stay 
Sometimes I burn 
Sometimes I make mistakes 
I will fall 
But when I fall 
I fall into grace 

I'll let you down 
If you're looking to me 
To be perfection 
This side of eternity 
So hear me now 
Here the words that I speak 
I see redemption 
But i'm not yet complete 

I took my monkey home with me!

He was only 7.99 I had many strange things happen at Woodman's yesterday. -Shannah found my potential Radcliff -There was this weird Woodman's employee named Rick that was following us. -Um actually thats it. I think. If more comes to mind I'll tell you later. I miss Great America. OOOOH We were going to get a Wisconsin christmas tree. Do you guys realize how stinken amazing that would be?! I'd have a piece of Wisconsin in my living room! But we forgot to stop. =(

Thanksgiving!

This is my broken tape runner that got me throught two and a half albums. He was a great tape runner, I called him Lou.

This is the new one. He's not special enough to have a name yet.

More pictures tommorow!

I guess I am "You People" now.

I went to my aunt mare's house yesterday and today for scrapbooking like ususal. I finally finished my very first big book. Yea! I got very sloppy toward the end though and I assure you I will look at it in disgust next time and redo it all. Marilyn has taught me the wonders of sleeping until noon and laying in bed until three. Rhonda, the a.m morning person calls her "you people" because her husband Jim is the same way. I guess I'm a part of you people now. *I'm ashamed*

Our two favorite phrases of the weekend were,"What now fool?" and "It's True". So if I randomly say that the next time you guys see me, don't be surprised.

It's true, fools.

Menards!

while all you people were doing fuin things on friday night, guess what I was doing? Your correct. MENARDS! CHRISTMAS! YEAH! That's right people I dont exagerate!
